UP. and share this absolute banger from our Music Hell series.

Torturer // Part 2
Verse & Vision is V13 Press's weekly literary newsletter. Last week I shared the first part of my current project, Torturer. This week we're back with the next part, and it's your bog-standard workers lunch, just a trio of freelance torturers brown baggin' it, having some fun discourse in cheery environs. Hope you enjoy.

Torturer // Part 1
Verse & Vision is V13 Press's weekly literary newsletter. This week I'm doing something completely different. For the first time, I'm sharing something that hasn't been already published to V13.net. Instead, I'm sharing my work in progress, my upcoming book, Torturer. Erin reminded me that Dickens used to serialize fiction, and Chris encouraged me to embrace it wholeheartedly. And so here we are, the first part of what is going to be the series of Torturer.

Just Stick The Landing
Verse & Vision is V13 Press’s weekly literary newsletter. This week’s story is a little different: instead of me taking the first swing, I’m opening the edition by spotlighting someone else’s work. Going forward, you’ll see more guest voices featured here: more outside minds, more distinct textures, more room for stories and essays that hit the nerve from angles I can’t (and shouldn’t) try to replicate.
